Oahu Done Right

Michael Son

Cinnamon's Restaurant

Delicious red velvet and guava pancakes. Great eggs benedict too. In Kailua, about 30 min from Honolulu & Waikiki Beach. Well worth the drive and wait!

Kayak at Kailua Bay

Rent a solo or tandem kayak from nearby shops (favorite: Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks) and paddle from beautiful Kailua Beach. Head to Flat Island, a horizontal offshore island that serves as a nice resting stop and Lanikai Beach. Head there early in the day for calmer waters. Great workout!

Sidestreet Inn

Kimchee fried rice, fried chicken, tuna poke.

Mai Tai Bar

Nice spot for drinks right on the beach. At the Royal Hawaiian. Of course, order the excellent Scratch mai tais.
